A former WWE star who recently announced a break from wrestling has made huge money from OnlyFans, it has been claimed.
Back in May, Cora Jade was among those to be released by WWE as they trimmed their roster following WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
She proceeded to return to independent wrestling under the name Elayna Black and competed for a number of different promotions, including Black Label Pro, Atomic Legacy Wrestling and Game Changer Wrestling.
However, alongside that, Black also launched an OnlyFans page - something which WWE stars are not allowed to do while under contract.

Recent signing Jordynne Grace had to shut down her page in order to be a WWE superstar and so when Black became self-employed again, she began to post content on the page and has made huge money from the platform.
Former WWE star's OnlyFans earnings revealed
In fact, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, the 24-year-old has outearned all female wrestlers in the past months from OnlyFans alone.
“I know she was talking to somebody who I know, and she has probably made more money last month than any woman pro wrestler in the world, probably by a lot, because of OnlyFans," Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio.

"Mandy Rose set the template. And you know, if you’ve got the right look, you can do OnlyFans coming off of a WWE run. And not everyone can do it, obviously, but some can. I mean, Mandy Rose is incredibly rich from that, and it’s the new thing, and more people are going to do it.
“Think about this. You want to do these indie dates for $1,000 when you’re making the kind of money that she’s making?
“She may come back, but right now, for her, I mean, she’s just making an incredible, incredible amount of money. I mean, it’s ridiculous, so good for her.”

At the start of this week, the former NXT star revealed that she has cancelled all wrestling bookings and is "taking a break from wrestling for the foreseeable future" and stating "it is no longer good for my mental health".
But Black has remained active on Instagram and OnlyFans, where she has uploaded 51 pictures and has 47,800 likes. Subscriptions for her page typically cost $15.99 but Black recently advertised an offer for 30% off until August 14.
She has received criticism for signing up for subscription-based social website but is unmoved about what other people think.
"I’ve never once in my life looked at someone else’s life and what they’re doing with their life," Black said on an episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet.

“If it’s not affecting me, my money, or who I love or anybody in my life, I don’t care. I’ve never thought about that.”
“So the fact that people are so concerned with what I’m doing with my body, my career and my life, and being that angry about it. Most of them are going to subscribe anyway; it’s ridiculous.”
